The Best Way to Clean Your Gas Cooktop!

[@terrirojas]

Next video, how to clean the hood vent. Like, how to clean all up in there, not just the filters and surfaces. Is there a way to clean the blades of the fan/motor??? 😜 This was a video - very thorough and AMAZING results!

[@Jen_am]

I just did this for my parents, it hadn’t been done in years! It was a pain! I basically had to deconstruct the vent (take bottom panels, filters, lightbulbs out, then disconnect the fan and motor) clean each part (used dawn purple degreaser, and dawn dish soap mixed with a steamer with a hard bristle attachment) then put back together! Depending on how dirty yours is the only thing I would recommend is using a degreaser if really dirty and taking pictures with your phone step-by-step as you take apart the hood so you can remember how it goes back together, also recommend laying some protection ( I used an old towel) over your stove top if it’s gas so nothing drips down and gets in the burners!!

[@terrirojas]

@@Jen_am Wow! You're a good daughter! 😘It's only about a year and a half old, I clean the filter regularly but grease has collected and drips from the fan. Thank you for the tips, I'll give it a go and remember to take photos.

[@eugenetswong]

1) Everybody, there are hood vents with a self cleaning feature. You basically have a hole on the top, where you can fill it with water. You can fill it with some detergent, too. The collector under the fan can be removed and then you throw the water in the drain. 2) If you can remove any parts, then please consider rinsing it & the filter, in the dishwasher with no detergent. Frequent rinses will keep them clean enough; especially with warm water. 3) If you're good at making containers and contraptions, then consider making a custom collector from tip #2 to drain it directly in the sink, or a large convenient container. 4) As I proof read this, I think that I might to set up a table or something to hold up empty *LAUNDRY* detergent bottles. These bottles probably have residual amounts of detergent, which can help to lock in the grease to water, and the bottles have wide openings. An ideal container should be easy enough to put your hand in there to wash it out, if you want to. Also, a bottle is easier to carry to avoid spilling, as opposed to a flat container.

[@butacrafts]

I have a microwave hood and I still dunno how to clean beyond the filters. Help needed

[@terrirojas]

@@butacrafts maybe that's all you can do. are those even piped up and out of the house? maybe what were supposed to do is clean filters regularly/weekly (depending on cooking frequency) and that is what keeps the motors and fans clean???

[@susan3037]

Just got a new gas range and I have vowed to keep it as clean as possible. This video came at the perfect time!

[@jessicabrown7353]

Future you will thank past you for doing this. My stovetop is a disaster 🫣

[@KeithCooper-Albuquerque]

We moved into a house with a used gas range and it really needed some TLC. I have it looking OK, but I'm going to use these techniques to take it to the next level! Cleaning every night is the key!

[@tracymcdonald6543]

I am so happy for these solutions plus you are such a happy guy. Peace.

[@riotjohnson889]

I hope you know how valuable your videos are. There are millions of videos out there between youtube, tiktok and instagram but you are the only person that comes to mind bc I know I’m gonna get the most professional information and not pushed into buying a whole bunch of brands. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️

[@patriciacushing7448]

😂 that s actually my stove. I thought black would look cleaner than white. 😂😂😂 I was so wrong, I spend so much time chasing streaks. I purchased the Teflon type black plastic sheets. I did have to trim them a bit around the burner to fit properly. Game changer! I take them off, once a week, at night when doing the dishes. They wash off like a dream and I dry them with a microfibre cloth and put them back on after I give the stove a quick wipe down. ❤

[@desertfish6239]

Thanks for the tip. We bought a stainless oven with a black stove top. I absolutely hate the black stove top. It seems so much harder to clean.

[@kiyoponnn]

plastic around a hot burner sounds like a brilliant idea

[@dsr8223]

Thanks for this video. I made a vow when I first got my gas stove that I would never let those little black spots snd speckles accumulate on the tops of the burner caps. If there are 5 at the end of 1 week, there will be 20 by then end of the month, so I stay on top of that. I'm the same way with burned speckles on glass Pyrex baking dishes. No speckles!

[@kathywiseley4382]

Exactly the same. My stove is now 10 years old and looks brand new.

[@vjones9469]

OMG! I just tried cleaning mine a couple of days ago! I used Dawn and got acceptable results, but, I still need to do it again. Thanks for sharing the ammonia and oiling steps!

[@CleanThatUp]

Happy to help!

[@slimwest41]

I've waited a long time for this moment. No more having my stove look like a meth lab!

[@jennyrosd2003]

Never forget the tile behind. I always do that first so I don't resplatter the stove top.

[@josephgaviota]

I like how your attitude is always positive. 👏

[@paulmasiello6818]

I was noticing dirty grates on my cooktop and was hoping you would do a video like this.

[@DaveD2488]

I put my stove top grates in the dishwasher they come out great!

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Nothing like a nice clean stove top🎉

[@robertebob]

Thanks for the motivation to get that job done at my house, finally. I've been putting that chore off until today.

[@KatrinaT]

I like to spray the grates with a degreaser as I take them off and set them in the sink. I add some to the stove top, too. Then I go around and wipe my counters for about 5 minutes. By then, the degreaser has loosened up a lot of the cooked on gunk, and it scrubs off easily. I use dish gloves because I don't like the soaps and degreaser on my hands. I think you should totally do it 1-2 times a month! It makes it easier to clean and it looks nicer.

[@CleanThatUp]

Yes, Dwell time is key when clean grease!

[@KatrinaT]

I am going to try adding the oil to the cast iron grates. I have a client who put hers in the dishwasher and they have some sad, dull spots on them.

[@flgirl45]

Exactly how I clean my clients gas stoves. Awesome job!!!

[@lynnboyce1729]

Magic eraser works amazing to remove tough spots on the surface instead of a blade scraper.

[@cremebrulee4759]

Thanks. I have been afraid of cleaning mine because gas scares me. I was afraid I would do something that would block the gas, or create a leak and cause the stove to blow up. I appreciate knowing where to not put cleaner. I have used that ammonia method with my outdoor gas grill grates.

[@cs_fl5048]

Dawn is the boss in my MANY years of experience....

[@adriiiadriii773]

The video that I've been waiting for! Thank you!

[@lyndik772]

Me too!

[@quirkyviper]

This was so helpful! I've been struggling to keep my grates clean bc they are so much larger than my sink. Never thought to soak them in a large tub like that! So simple! And I'm always chasing streaks and haze on my top. Never thought to use power wash - I have a bottle rn!

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

Great video - it's a chore (for sure) to clean grates that are too large to fit in your kitchen sink. I've purchased a large rubber bath mat that I place in my bathtub when it's time to clean the grates (don't want to scratch the bottom of my tub!), but I like your idea of using a large rectangular plastic bin - this way it's up on the counter and doesn't strain my back while scrubbing them. Genius! Love all your cleaning tips.

[@katiesteinlicht2445]

Do you have a video about cleaning a stainless steel gas range? Any suggestions? Thanks

[@coriel2597]

I put all grates and parts in empty dishwasher. I add a cup filled with vinegar on the top shelf. Run on regular cycle with regular soap pod. The entire thing comes out gorgeous. Clean as a whistle. I just did this the other day. NO SCRUBBING’. Make sure to let the drying cycle finish before removing the grates.

[@DaveD2488]

I do the same minus the vinegar, great idea though. I will try that the next time.

[@TimFromPerth]

@coriel 2597: Thanks. That worked a treat! 🎉

[@Supersoccerchic]

I love this! I hate gas stoves and I have to wash the grates and it's annoying. Also, you posted this video on my birthday, lol. I love your videos, though. They help me so much to clean effectively!

[@KenishaMillerREInv]

Thanks so much, you bring awesome value! I'm finalizing my new cleaning business so I'm sure to have future questions! What a pleasant surprise to see my name first in the credits! 🤩🤩🤩

[@MsVeronicaA]

Thank you so much for sharing this great solution! ❤

[@lesleypearson6934]

Wonderful!!!! I happen to have the same exact stove!

[@maximumcorruption]

I used to own that model. I like to clean while I'm cooking. Was easy with my coil stove. When I got my Kitchen aid gas stove, cleaning it after each use became difficult, because the grills are quite heavy. They are 2 large instead of 4 small separate ones. I bought the glass top instead, cleaning is easier, but cooking on it sucks. It also scratches very easily. Going back to coil top in stainless steel if they exist.

[@cathyb6358]

This video came at a great time.

[@lesliekanengiser8482]

I remove the grates and immediately put them in the sink in the order they go on the stove. As for the other parts, i remove them and also keep them in order in a roasting pan where they soak. Could i take pics? Yes. I even have before. But i forget they exist. So i just do my more difficult method. 😂😂

[@cherylkalsch5107]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@eugenetswong]

GOOD job, Brandon.

[@marilynellis4007]

Thanks for the great cleaning advise❤

[@michaelwelch3753]

I place a rubber cover that is designed for my gas cooktop. I have also used an high temp oil on the grates, and baked it on, so food is easy to clean.

[@somedude6030]

[@cassieoz1702]

For soaking, I use old fashioned laundry powder: degreaser plus alkali for dissolving protein

[@01Noemi]

I used Ajax instead of down and wool, and it works wonders

[@terrayfic]

I use L.A.'s Totally Awesome cleaner from Dollar Tree. It eats thru all the grease and oil better than anything I have ever tried.

[@olivia8979]

I switched my gas stovetop to an induction because I HATED cleaning it. It was an ordeal because it required electrical work and getting the gas line capped. But my life is oh so much easier now because the induction cleans like a dream.

[@terrirojas]

I went from glasstop to gas and am hating life. The only thing I like about it is making my tortillas on the open flame 😆

[@hotrodrolfe]

I have lived in my house for 2 years....i clean the stove every night....had nooo idea that the burners could come off hahaha thank yoooou

[@bestsk8eva]

Mine don’t come off 😢

[@lisanugent296]

Mine don’t come off either. They are really gross.

[@dottyk1637]

Mine don't come off either or maybe too complicated.

[@lyndik772]

I didn’t think mine came off, but just tried it and they do! They were not as gross as I thought they would be since I never knew they came off. I obviously knew about the top round thing, whatever it is called, but not the part that actually goes above where the gas comes in. As usual Brandon, you are amazing! I’m so glad that you are doing these videos. I’m learning so much!

[@carolhub8080]

Love your videos! I have a new house with new stove and am trying my best to keep it shiny like new, but nice to know a good deep cleaning method!

[@jlandtube]

Can you also do a video on how to clean a toaster, please?! I love mine but it is getting build up inside.

[@peterbenson2287]

What about just putting all the components in the dishwasher? If so, what cycle settings would be best?

[@MyGuyKirby]

As noted when using the razor blade scraper, be careful as it can scratch. Try using plastic razor blades or round off the edges of the metal blades. These are a detailer’s trick for painted surfaces.

[@lynnrumsey3296]

This is so helpful! I happen to have this same gas stove. How would you clean the knobs and surface digital glass window? I used to take the knobs off my electric stove and deep clean those but I don’t think this would be possible on this stove. I just wipe them down. Do you have a video on how to use the clean cycle for the oven? Thank you. Great video.

[@Jen_am]

Not sure about the digital glass window but using some degreaser/dish soap and a toothbrush could help clean the knobs then just wipe clean with a wet rag and dry! Also, it’s extremely harmful and dangerous to use the cleaning cycle on your oven! It gets very very hot and can damage, break, and even melt components of your stove and oven! Please look at your manual or look online your model, also you can google more about this information too!!!

[@markbrownfield437]

The knobs on my stove pull off easily for cleaning but yours may be different so don't force them. Clean displays and controls with a lightly dampened rag, don't soak the area with a cleaner that may run behind it and affect the electronics.

[@TiredMomma]

Our grates are cast iron, like a cast iron pan, so we've been taught that Dawn is never to be used for cast iron. I keep a scrubber that is saved just for the grates. One developed some rust when I did use Dawn but it ain't too bad.

[@tjd0908]

I ‘think’ I have that too? Is yours a thermadore? My stovetop is a huge pain to clean. The grates are heavy and will rust and my burners don’t lift off like the ones in this video. Ugh.

[@dsr8223]

My grates are black like cast iron, too. I just make sure I completely dry them and also put a very thin coat of oil on them after cleaning. Gotta watch for rust for sure, though!

[@TiredMomma]

@@tjd0908 the burners have to be unscrewed. Ours have 2 screws tightly put in. Ours is the brand name Amana, just a regular gas oven/stove.

[@susannovak8263]

He addressed this in the video. If you don’t dry your cast-iron grates well enough, theywill develop rust. It wasn’t the Dawn dish soap.

[@TiredMomma]

Also the gloss paint that is applied to the metal of the cover of the stovetop, can be removed, well easier for a simple gas stove top but it sure is very heavy. A metal blade is not recommend but can be used when absolutely needed, very very carefully. Little knicks in the painted surface will be noticable over time as moisture can get under the paint, but by then you'll probably be replacing your appliance anyway, lol. I'm at the point of using a blade. Hubs recently made a yummy sauce, it spilled, burnt on like streaky charcoal. Not a scrubber nor even my fingernail can get bits off. Came off no problem though for the cast iron grates, so that was interesting. 🤷‍♀️

[@bjquilts29]

Put the grates in the dishwasher! Works great!

[@eronavbj]

My Dad was a janitor, and he used ammonia in that fashion. He would soak rags with ammonia and spread them in the closed oven. After a few hours, the oven could be cleaned out with clean rags, which he would then just discard.

[@billjeffries6223]

Pro Tip: For spotless stovetop grates, place them in your oven and run the self-cleaning cycle. I've been using this method for years, and it works like a charm!

[@jessicajordan680]

I heard him say in an older video that using the self-cleaning options on the stove isn't recommended by repairmen. The oven super heats to 800 degrees Fahrenheit (or so, depending on age and model of the stove) and can melt fuses, coils, and even control panels that are surrounded by plastic 🤷🏼‍♀️ I've never had an oven that did that, ever. It's all news to me! Haha, millennial FTw😅
